PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To use an intermediate transfer belt for a long time by preventing or reducing trouble caused by sticking matter remaining without being removed by a cleaning device used to remove untransferred toner, which remains without being transferred to a recording sheet, from an intermediate transfer belt. SOLUTION: The intermediate transfer belt 30 is rotated while an abrading web 220 is wound. Thereby the surface of the intermediate transfer belt 30 is refreshed while abraded by the abrasive web 220. This removes sticking matter remaining without being transferred by the intermediate transfer belt cleaning device 40. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
